Janemena and her husband, Andre Plies, are often seen as the perfect couple online—but their marriage almost ended just a year in.

In a candid Instagram revelation, Janemena opened up about a major issue that rocked their relationship back in 2019. According to her, Andre was deeply uncomfortable with one of her close friendships and asked her to cut ties. She refused.

The disagreement escalated quickly. Andre even contacted a lawyer to begin divorce proceedings. The legal fees were steep, and in an unexpected twist, Janemena offered to pay the full amount herself just to move things forward.

She humorously recalled shouting for the lawyer’s account number so she could cover the costs, adding that the friend in question later betrayed her badly—something she now regrets ignoring her husband’s warnings about.

She wrote:
"People don’t know that in our first year of marriage, we hit a serious rough patch. My husband asked me to end a friendship, I refused, and things spiraled to the point where he involved a lawyer for a divorce. When the bill came, he tried negotiating and I just yelled, ‘Lawyer, please send your account, I’ll pay everything!’

Now, anytime that lawyer sees us in Asaba, it’s laughter all around. And as for that friend? I wish I had listened to my husband’s advice—biggest regret ever.”

GHANA MUST GO

On 17th January, 1983, exactly 42 years ago today, President of Nigeria, Shehu Shagari issued an executive order to expel two million undocumented West African migrants, half of whom were from Ghana.

After the expulsion, the over 1 million Ghanaians headed westwards, passing through Benin and Togo. Because of an attempted coup the previous year, the President of Ghana, Jerry Rawlings, had closed the main land crossing with Togo, and to avoid a sudden influx of returnees, Togo then also shut its borders with Benin.

Therefore, once the migrants reached Benin, the way out was restricted and they were forced to remain in the port of Cotonou, the country's seat of government, attempting to find a boat to Ghana. After they had been stranded for more than a week, Ghana reopened its borders, causing Togo to do likewise so that the Ghanaians could return home. Thousands of Ghanaians died at the border.

Interestingly IBB in his book has cleared the air on the false narratives that have led to hate of the Igbo people that the 1966 coup was an “Igbo coup”.

Read Excerpts on page 38 & 39 below.

Unfortunately, the people benefiting from the false narratives want to surpress the information so it doesn’t get round. No thanks to the unreading public.

This is why they have removed history from our curriculum and interests, so that we continue to dwell in misinformation and ignorance while they use it as propaganda against us.

IBB also affirmed that MKO Abiola won the 1993 elections.

A lot of young Igbos thought they are victims of Nigeria.
I think this is false.
In the first republic, the most powerful ethnicity in Nigeria were the Igbos. They called the shots and destroyed anybody or any ethnicity that stood in their way.

The 1966 coup was what destroyed their grand plan for Nigeria and flipped power back to the Northwest of Nigeria.

If you read what NCNC and Azikwe did to the Yorubas and minorities in middle belt and South South, you will never be Liberal in politics in Nigeria.

Ahmadu Bello and Akintola also spoke out about this tyranny.

To understand Nigeria, you must study the first republic. Nigeria did not start in 1967, It started in 1914.
Between 1914 to 1966, it was Igbo power in Nigerian politics because Awolowo was passive and not aggressive.
We paid dearly for it.

In early January 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Schio, Vicenza, Italy, where a 36-year-old Nigerian woman, Queen Enabuele, was arrested for the alleged murder of her 32-year-old Nigerian boyfriend, Kelly Egbon. (RAI NEWS)

The event unfolded on January 6th in their shared apartment located in the historic center of Schio. Neighbors alerted authorities after hearing a heated argument between the couple. Upon arrival, the police discovered Egbon's lifeless body, with a fatal wound to his left femoral artery, leading to his death from excessive blood loss. (ADNKRONOS)

Initially, Enabuele claimed that Egbon's death was accidental, suggesting he had fallen onto a glass table, causing the fatal injury. However, inconsistencies in her account and forensic evidence led to further questioning, during which she confessed to stabbing Egbon. She alleged that the act was in self-defense during a violent altercation, stating that Egbon, inebriated at the time, had assaulted her and threatened her with a knife. In the ensuing struggle, she managed to seize the weapon and inflicted the fatal wound. (RAI NEWS)

Following her confession, Enabuele was taken into custody and is currently held at the Montorio prison in Verona, awaiting further legal proceedings. The case has garnered significant attention, shedding light on issues of domestic violence within immigrant communities in Italy.

This tragic event underscores the critical importance of addressing domestic violence and ensuring that support systems are accessible to all individuals, regardless of gender or nationality. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, it's imperative to seek help immediately. In Italy, the national domestic violence helpline is available at 1522, offering support in multiple languages.

Dear Nigerian Men in Diaspora, we advocate for women so often but it is important to note that Domestic Violence can happen against both genders. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Shame should never replace a life lost. By reaching out to these organizations or local authorities, victims can access the support they need to protect themselves and begin the journey toward healing.
